Lyrics

See a black Eldorado
 Oh, rolling along down below my window
 That black girl in the back looks pretty good
 Christ! She's beautiful
 You know how soft she is
 Just what you feel like
 Oh, I'm so far away from her
 Jesus this is Iggy
 You, you might as well come with me,
 When you ride the ride
 There's talk and I don't wanna talk
 Oh mamma, I shot myself down They're stepping on our hearts
 Stepping on our hearts
 I don't know why they're stepping on our hearts
 Damn, I don't know why
 Stepping on our hearts Can't you see, oh no, Stepping on our hearts
 How come the blacks, how come they copy you so good?
 They get off on you, so sexually
 If you wanna make it
 Young man you gotta make somebody come
 Come out of your black and strong
 Black! Strong! Black!
 Jesus it's cold in this room, it's really cold
 You know I never told you about this, but there's one guy
 Somebody I really love, he's never around
 Well he was taking things that could be alright, that could be nice
 And make him ugly, so damn ugly
 And we put out the lights on them
 Yeah, we'd make it dark, we put out the lights... on them
 It's idiots like you that screw me up
 I know there's nothing to you
 And I don't know why I treat you so kind
 Come down and dance with me, dance with me
 You got nobody left but me
 Oh accept me, don't reject me, don't forget me
 Mamma, what colour will the lights be? Will they turn blue on me? Mamma, I shot myself up, woh mamma, I shot myself up, up, up, mamma
 Up down, up down mamma
 Oh oh oh oh oh mamma
 I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't mean to, but I did it, I shot myself up
 Mamma I shot myself!
